Diving Into Health Disparities and Health Equity

It has been a few months since we last met. Since that time, CHIP Partners have had many
opportunities to learn about the issues that frame our CHIP priorities
-specifically around health disparities & health equity. For a summary of two of these events, please
click here. In addition to these events, we've also completed the first
iteration of our Infant Mortality scorecard, as well as conducted research into
data and strategies.

It's now time to reconvene and determine which strategies we
collectively want to work on. Our next meeting is scheduled on:

October 19th; 3-5pm

following linkis to the main Buncombe County CHIP Scorecard that includes all
of our priority work. A brief video
tutorial is provided to help you learn how to navigate the scorecard. Scroll down the page to find our Infant
